Abstract

According to a first aspect of the invention, a visual indicator device for mounting to a printed circuit board is provided, which can be more flexibly adapted to meet individual needs, the visual indicator device comprising a visual indicator and a flexible film circuit with integral circuit traces for electrically connecting the visual indicator to the printed circuit board, wherein the flexible film circuit comprises an adhesive film. According to a second aspect of the invention, a heat sink for at least one input/output connector is provided, which combines thermal and cable management functions, the heat sink comprising a heat exchange section for heat exchange with the at least one input/output connector, the heat sink further comprising a cable management section that is configured to project beyond a mating face of the input/output connector and to manage a cable or a fixture for a cable of a mating input/output connector when the heat exchange section is coupled with the at least one input/output connector.
